EveryPONY or EveryBODY?

[~Cider Barrel~ 125]

After watching the show for a bit i started to read and say it, but it got worse....when i started to read my mind would purposely replace everybody as everypony, it bugged me for the longest time until i just went with it. 

 

It does get embarrassing at times when your reading out loud, just the other day when rounding up a few people i said "Everybody stay together" 

and of course with my luck i ended up saying everypony.

 

Anyway... My answer to your poll is going to have to be everypony, cause frankly thats just what my mind see's

[~Vallo~ 409]

People aren't ponies, so it'd be rather dumb to call other people "everypony." Damn, it hurts my fingers just to type that word. Ugh.

For me, I find both terms interchangeable. I used to find it annoying whenever people pointed out that characters in the show said everyBody, or someBody instead of everyPony, or somePony. However, I think that that phase for many people has died down, so it doesn't bother me that much anymore.

 

I will say though, that in real life, I would use everybody because that is the grammatically correct term. However, if I were to meet a Brony IRL, then I would gladly use the term everyPony XD.

I have no problem with the phrase everypony, heck I use it sometimes as a funny saying. But I do prefer saying everyone over the other phrase, but's just my opinion.

[Retro*Derpy 3,180]

I use the term everyBODY, I have not or will not use everyPONY. I don't think anything bad of it, I just like it in the show more than IRL or online.

[Alex0461 33]

It's usually only referenced when talking to other Bronies (as in this case between us ).

 

As a general rule of thumb:

EveryBODY is used in everyday life.

EveryPONY is used within the fandom or when talking to another Brony.

EveryONE is used in both the TV show and in real life, and thus can be used interchangeably. (Probably the way to go if you know a group of people is composed of part Bronies and part non-Bronies.)

That pretty much explains the general decorum of it lol. 

 

It doesn't really bother me when people say it but I end up saying it very seldom simply because in most situations I have no need to say it. But it does slip in a few times depending on who I'm talking to.

[Victor van Dort 202]

I'm leaning more towards everybody on this. It makes barely any sense how they refer to all creatures, pony or not, as 'anypony' or everpony'.

[Cowl 128]

I use everypony as much as I possibly can, but only on mlp forums. Anywhere else on the internet would just be silly. While using everypony in real life would just be horrifying.

I don't really care, It's fun saying it in Pony forums or RPs, but for me, I just go with "Everybody", annoys me when people go "Everypony" in a serious Discussion or in online games like TF2

[Just some guy 1,070]

I honestly don't like either of those words when speaking.I prefer to use "erryone" when speaking. :v

 

However,if I'm typing,then I always go with anybody.Anypony just sounds odd in my head.

[MandelSoft 29]

I strongly lean towards "everyone" or "everybody" rather than "everypony". This has a few reasons.

 

1) It's kind of awkward when used out of context.

2) I prevent that it slips from my thounge when I don't want to

3) English is not my native language; that would be dutch. And the dutch translation doesn't make sense in any way (I mean, "someone" becomes "iemand". How to substitute pony in that word?)

 

So, I just remain using Terran English

I think it's no big deal if they say it every now and then but if they say it constantly non stop then it's going to be awkward especially if there are people who wouldn't get what they were referring to 

[Lunar Glow 676]

I've never used "Everypony" in public mostly because I am not currently "outed" as a brony yet. I use it within the fandom every time without fail, though, just as it is a comfortable instinct. It's slipped out in my private non-pony related writing a few times, though. 

I wouldn't get offended if somepony else who is more comfortable with their brony identity always used "everypony," in their public lives, though, and I personally don't see why anyone should hate on their choice of words. 

[Im_not_crazy_im_just 1,814]

I say everyone just so no one draws any red flags  I havent had any times where i said everypony in public unless you count the forums.

[Cwanky 17,518]

Definitely everybody. 

While its fine to use the term everypony within the community and amongst close friends, a lot of people including those that aren't haters are not familiar with the show. You'll just end up confusing, or annoying people, like the Rick and Morty fans that randomly shout "wubba lubba dub dub!!!!!!!" in public.

I don't think you understand what theyre saying...

'Everypony' and related words are the one thing I absolutely cannot stand about MLP. Especially now that Twilight has a multi-species school 'everyone' or 'everybody' should be the norm, not that horrifying 'everycreature' they're now going with. The only reason 'everypony' even slightly works is because it doesn't sound that different from 'everybody', so what they're doing now is completely insane. Besides, G1 didn't use 'everypony' either, so why should G4? I personally only use 'everypony' in fanfics because I have to.

[King of Canterlot 9,603]

I like to say Everypony, because I like to imagine that's what all us forum users are, ponies sitting behind computer screens clopping away at our keyboards with our hooves while happily posting new threads 

I also like Everypony because it's what they use, or I guess, used to use in MLP before the whole friendship school thing...........

[Kai-rouken 146]

Idk, "everypony" sounds pretty silly to me lol. Even in the context of the show.

[Nightfall Thunder 1,937]

I'd maybe use everypony when talking to other people who are a fan of the show, but only in non-serious conversation. Other than that, everybody will suffice. 

[Sliding Bolt 4,358]

I use everypony sometimes but only with other bronies. Or else it would just be weird. Really depends on the conversation I guess.

[EpicEnergy 23,074]

I only use everypony sometimes when I talk to other bronies.

[Tom Gallagher 33,571]

Everypony of course!  Sometimes, I even accidentally say it in conversation with people.
